Circle of Willis variants and white matter lesions / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Circle of Willis is the most important intracranial collateral circulation system,it has many types of variation.Circle of Willis variants reduce intracranial blood perfusion and increase the risks of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases and white matter lesions.White matter lesions are white matter damage caused by a variety of causes.With the wide application of neuroimaging technology,the detection rate of white matter lesions is significantly higher,and it is closely associated with the ischemic cerebrovascular disease.This article reviews the correlation between circle of Willis variants and white matter lesions.
